Everyone probably heard already, but in case you didn't; Jeremy Lusk, a professional motocross rider and member of the Metal Mulisha passed away on Tuesday after two days in the hospital due to cardiac and respiratory failure after a fatal crash at the 2009 X Knights Competition in Costa Rica

well the thing that he did wrong was that he did not wear a leatte brace which protects ur neck and spine....this is the same brace that saved jeremy "twitch" speinburgs life...

I hear what you're sayin hany but I'm thinkin in this case the results would have still been the same with how hard he hit his head

Yeah I heard he died of head trauma if this is true then I doubt a neck brace would of helped(im no doctor tho), but we will never kno

yeah his head hit and snapped back pretty hard. The brace may have helped with his neck but as Travis said the brace probably wouldnt have helped alot with head trauma.
